New Vision
In the spring of 2010, the Jacksonville Landing was the object of a workshop during the American Planning Association’s yearly conference. Participants were challenged to reinvent the facility without constraints. Ideas were shared with the property managers and owner Sleiman, who was impressed with their vision. Suggestions included slicing a wedge from the landing to open up access from Laura Street, closing the western ramp to the Main Street Bridge and rerouting Laura Street through a roundabout, and adding a marina and other buildings, such as a hotel.

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but mediately to the understanding or reason?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
